DRL > 0.9.9.2

[E|100%|YAAM] A developer's confession...

(1/6) > >>

Kornel Kisielewicz:
First of all, I need to make a confession. I suck at DoomRL. I suck at my own game... How much? Well, I *never* had a valid, non-cheated victory. Never... until today.

I decided to celebrate the upcoming 0.9.9.2 release with a run, and finally, FINALLY AFTER 9 YEARS I managed to beat my own game... yes, on easy, but you must understand, how epic that for a developer may be...

--- End code ---

I went a standard AoDead path -- although contrary to advice starting with the Shottyman trait, afterwards going for pure defence Iro/Tan -- served me really well when on Hell Level 7-9 Viles and Revenants started to appear.

I've visited all the generated levels except Lava Pits -- I know what I did there this version, so I didn't dare to enter -- on reminescense, I must say I regret :P. I've followed the standard plot path -- a lucky win at the Arena followed cleaning up AM in CC and cracking the vaults open. However, the best find was still before that -- the Assault Shotty <3.

I was constantly having problems with ammo and medkit supply... luckily the end-fight was easy -- I found a Inv globe on the last level, and had two spare homing phases (too bad that not a nuke :/)... so it was Inv/homing phase and dual BFG fun at the end.

All in all there's a tear in my eye... after 9 years I finally beat my own game... :)

Thank you everyone!

ParaSait:
Here is the IRC log!! :D

thelaptop:
w00t!  Finally a win from the God Hand himself!  =D

A pity I stepped out for lunch when you won it YAAM no less!

Kashi:
Congrats, Kornel! It's no wonder you weren't able to win 'till now, mostly as you were busy checking the code to make it better and all that. That consumes time and concentration, which you weren't really using during your runs (It happens, so yeah)

MaiZure:
Eh? You got in to the Center Vault on your first try? CHEATER! :P
